About the Ford Unit Planter Series 310

The Ford Series 310 was a unit-type row crop planter designed for mounting on Ford toolbar frames and front-mounted cultivator frames, produced as part of Ford's implement lineup in the 1960s and 1970s. Unlike rear-mounted 3-point planters, the 310 unit planter system used individual planter units that could be bolted to a range of toolbar configurations — tool bar attaching kits, angle frame cultivators, and front-mounted cultivator frames were all supported, giving the 310 unusual versatility in how it could be hitched and used relative to other equipment. The planter units used a seed disc metering system with interchangeable seed hoppers for corn, cotton, and peanuts, and the seed plate selection and seeding rate charts in the manual cover multiple crops and population targets. The 310 was compatible with Ford's dry fertilizer attachment, disc fertilizer openers, and a range of press wheel and covering options. The Hilldrop Conversion Kit included with this download added hill-drop planting capability to the standard drill-configured 310 units, and its 20-page manual documents the conversion hardware, timing adjustments, and operating procedures specific to hill-drop operation — information that's not in the base 310 manual.

What This Manual Covers

This download includes both the 44-page Series 310 manual and the 20-page Hilldrop Conversion Kit manual. Key sections include:

  • Operation — tool bar installation and attaching kit; unit planter installation; depth adjustment; transport clearance and float; fertilizer attachments; cleaning the hoppers; transporting; disc fertilizer opener; fertilizer placement; front mounted cultivator frame installation and unit planter installation; angle frame cultivator installation and configuration
  • Attachments — seed press wheel; spoon coverers; disc coverer attachment; gauge shoes; bed sweeps; wheel scraper; semi-pneumatic press wheel tires; disc furrow opener; gauge wheel attachment
  • Marker Attachments — disc marker attachments (front mounted planter); four-row marker attachments (tool bar planter)
  • Seed Hoppers — corn hoppers; corn and cotton hoppers; peanut hopper attachment
  • Seed Plates & Seeding Rates — seed plate selection and seeding rate charts for multiple crops
  • Troubleshooting — common planting problems and corrections
  • Adapting for Special Crops — configuration guidance for specialty crop applications
  • Lubrication & Storage — lubrication points and end-of-season storage procedures
  • Seed Charts — factory seed charts for population planning
  • Hilldrop Conversion Kit Manual (20 pages) — conversion hardware installation; timing adjustments for hill-drop operation; operating procedures specific to hill-drop planting mode

Why This Manual Matters

  • Multiple mounting configurations documented: The 310 unit planter could be mounted on tool bars, front cultivator frames, and angle frame cultivators — three different setups each with their own attaching kit, depth adjustment, and float procedures; having all three documented in one manual is essential when the planter is being remounted or reconfigured
  • Hilldrop Conversion Kit included: The 20-page Hilldrop kit manual is included in this download — covering the conversion hardware, timing setup, and hill-drop operating procedures that the base 310 manual doesn't contain; this makes the download complete for operators using the planter in hill-drop corn planting mode
  • Specialty crop hopper documentation: Cotton and peanut hopper configurations are documented alongside the standard corn hoppers, with seed plate selection and seeding rate guidance for each crop type
  • Disc fertilizer opener and fertilizer placement: The disc fertilizer opener attachment and fertilizer placement procedures are documented with the specific Ford 12-194 hardware — important for operators running the 310 with in-furrow or side-band fertilizer application
  • Troubleshooting and special crop adaptation: The troubleshooting guide and special crop adaptation section cover the problems and configuration questions that come up most often when these planters are used outside their original corn-planting context
  • Original factory content: This is the manual Ford issued to 310 unit planter owners, carrying manual code SE 8371-B

Manual Code: SE 8371-B

beautiful and sturdy
Size: 48 inch 2 Tier
The shelf is beautiful and sturdy. The only small complaint are the instructions to put it together are deceiving because pieces were put together for shipping purposes (we assume) but didn't actually go together which took us a few times to figure out. I recommend putting it together off the wall before trying it on the wall so you know what pieces go where.

Cheaply made
Size: 48 inch 2 Tier
I would not recommend this shelf. There are no instructions included - just a simple drawing of putting it together but nowhere says what drill bit size to use for the plastic anchors which are square on the end and not round. In addition, you cannot fully tighten the iron brackets or they won’t alight on the wall to hang the shelf. Each piece of metal piping has part of the black coating stripped off as well. And on top of that, the bottom of each shelf is unfinished and looks as though they used a filler to hide holes in the shelf. Not worth the money or the hassle.

Good shelf to upgrade my awkward kitchen!
Size: 42 inch 2 Tier
This shelf is exactly what I was looking for for my awkward kitchen in my new house. Don't mind the plywood walls (who knows what the previous owners were thinking 🤣) but anyways, we had this awkward gap between the kitchen counters and the stove, so I got a stainless steel shelf to fill the gap and add some more counterspace, and I found this industrial style pipe shelving, which was the perfect size and height to fit in this gap on the wall and give us more storage/organization space. It's easy to assemble and hang up, and seems very strong and sturdy. It's a little heavy, but lightweight enough to hang easily. Right out of the box, it was disappointing to see some scuffs in the black paint on the piping, especially for the price. Luckily, the biggest scuff is in a pretty inconspicuous space so it's not a big deal. Definitely not worth returning to see if another one wouldn't have any scuffs (especially since many of the other reviews mentioned scuffs too). It's wabi sabi I suppose 😅 Also, not a single extra screw or hardware was included. Not a big deal, but screws are cheap enough to through in one extra just in case one is missing or lost. Overall, mostly happy with the purchase. The wood is solid and the shelf looks nice in my kicthen!
